Curious what coaches do when changing jobs?

DUI Pete has to know every play he’s ran/has a playbook so I would assume it’s a new set of plays?

Everyone knows every play he has ran. It’s called tape.

Lane/Weis will tailor their concepts to best use the talent set we have on the team. It honestly isn’t much deeper than that.

Lane also knows exactly how to exploit DUI Pete’s defense and OM is still going to try and replicate kiffin’s exact offense. LSU will win in Oxford.

I think the pace will change a ton. We were terrible at getting plays in last season and one of the slowest teams in the nation in pace.

Lane likes mobile QBs in his offense, so I'd expect to see a much different QB style of play compared to what we saw with Nuss.

I expect route trees designed to open up a primary receiver... in other words, there will be a purpose in the routes and progressions.

Lane is notorious for successful running games, so just seeing him get a running game going will be a big change.

IMO, the offense will be greatly improved. Aggressive play calling and making full use of our talent.

Of course they know each other‘s base plays and schemes, but Kiffin and VWeiss are higher on the football IQ scale than DUI Pete

That’s not really how it works. Pete will recognize formations but that’s about it. Completely different group of guys, he won’t have any inside information on how they are calling it other than the game film that every coach has always has access to

Lane has put up crazy offensive numbers at each stop. Why would it change now when he will have the best talent since he was OC for Saban at Bama.

They actually aren’t changing anything.

“Changing” an offense would mean that they are walking into an already established system….which they’re not.

They’re incorporating a whole new offensive system and scheme from scratch with these new players.

I think the question is how much will Kiffin/Weis change up the offense from the Ole Miss days so as to change up on Golding, knowing he knows Kiffin's tendencies.

My bet is that LSU will play pretty 'generic Kiffin' in the first half, so Golding won't be able to make any halftime adjustments.

Then come out in the second half with the real gameplan, and see if Pete can figure things out on the fly. And I'm guessing he won't be able to.

and lane has said just recently, their "concept" is driven by the team they're playing. they'll run it on weaker run defensive teams, and exploit teams passing that are weaker there. he said its an always revolving concept based on opponent, not their own identity.

Most of the time its not what plays you call, its when you call them.

I have seen interviews from players and coaches about what Lane does that makes his offense so successful. All have said he can run the same play from as many as 5 different formations.

I don’t think the average fan grasps the intricacies of modern offensive football.

are you football ignorant? Do you really know nothing about X and O's?

SO pete knows plays. how does that help him if lane is unpredictable per down and distance? per where the ball is? unpredictable using multiple players for similar plays? and if he guesses right we still may out execute him. they may take away a certain player but we go to next read and execute the play.

If you know it, don't you think they know it, and will do something different?
